Duck Sick
Just a lil under the weather today...Got it from my baby gigi....She's been sicky poo's and now she gave it to daddy....Had to take off work to sweat it out.....Best way to beat the cold is to just sweat it out....
This sickness reminded me of when I was young...Ery time I got sick from about 5 to 15 I would hallucinate.. Literally..I would see thins that werent there... Like once I saw superman and a bunch of rats flying by me...And I asked my mother who was on the couch across from me if she saw them....Then another time I was standing on my head in the corner of my bunk bed while my cat hissed and scratched at me...I guess she could feel or see the Demons.....
But I'm all better now/..............
Just waiting for the next enlightenment

OBAMA???? '08????
So now for the FIRST time in HISTORY...We have a B L A C K P R E S I D E N T....
As Mcain gives his concession speech with pride, it is the first time I hear him speak from the heart...
We now have the opportunity to change the prespective of AMERICA....As long as no one sets true to the bloody stripes of our flag...The rest of the World can now see us for who we are and hopefully we can see our selves for the compassion we hold as a country....
Make LOVE not WAR....With 333 electorial votes it is officially a wrap....Taking Florida, Ohio, Virginia and various other thought to be "RED" states, We now can hope and pray that we can abolish racism and people can see others as HUMANS and not races....People can hopefully see that hate can not always win.....
BUT OBAMA CAN AND HAS....

the thing I love about this particular artist is the intricacies.... He tells stories within the paintings..They're Worlds of their own within the scheme of things...How everything is everything and perception is the meaning..(see previous entry)...He wants the surveyors first impression to be the surface...Like when you first meet a beautiful women...Or taste an exotic food for the first time.... It's intriguing, so as you encounter this unknown sight you notice other things making up the surface...The surface is full of complexities and even within those complexities are intricacies....So there is Dali as I see me....Complex and intricate, yet simplistic....So take a journey......

Dali made this painting to warn soldiers of VD's......From a far it tells the story

HAVE FUN
Dali completed this painting in 1976 and named it "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters becomes a Portrait of Abraham Lincoln". Dali liked naming his works eccentrically using long names rather than brief descriptions, unlike many traditional artists. This painting's dimensions are 75.5 by 99.25 inches and it's a part of the permanent collection at the Salvador Dali Museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida. As the painting's title suggest, when looked at it from some distance the painting becomes a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Having seen this painting in person at the museum in Florida, a picture found on the Internet or in a book of this painting (and many other large paintings) does not do the justice. Dali is known for using bright, vivid colors in his paintings that look incredibly sharp in person, it's just something you have to see for yourself, so get yourself out of your house to see his works in person, the tickets are cheap after all and it's definitely worth it.
The painting's subtitle is "Homage to Rothko". Rothko, a famous Latvian-born American artist, has earned his reputation by painting simple paintings that used shapes like squares and rectangles in vivid colors that were considered to be in the style of Abstract Expressionism (Although Rothko was known to have rejected that as the style of his work). This painting may also remind some of the work of the famous American pop-artist Andy Warhol.
Dali liked hiding things in his paintings by using optical illusions. In the middle of this painting, a woman, who is Dali's wife (Gala) looking out of a cross-shaped window overlooking the harbor. The window happens to be a cross that also outlines the shape of Lincoln's head. At the right side, slightly below the horizontal mid-section of the painting we see 4 tiles aligned together to form another cross. By taking a closer look of the upper region of the Abraham Lincoln head, yet another cross painted out as a cloud formation can be spotted. To the left of that cross and directly where the sun is shining through the reddish-orange clouds one can spot a reference to one of Dali's other controversial paintings entitled "Christ of St John of the Cross" which is considered one of the finest works of Salvador Dali. When people think of the most reproduced painting by Salvador Dali, they may falsely guess that it is the famous The Persistence of Memory (with it's Dali's hallmark melting clocks). In reality "Christ of St John of the Cross" is considered to be the most reproduced painting by Salvador Dali.
Some parts of this painting are rendered in the style known as "trompe l'oeli", where adding subtle shadows to the objects makes them seem to leap out from the flat surface of the painting, creating a subtle but very effective 3-dimensional illusion. This effect has been used on the walls in the painting where the plaster is breaking and peeling off, revealing some of the tiles.

5.....28.......10..........Perfection
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [ˈsˠaunʲ]; from the Old Irish samain).[1] The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes [2] regarded as the "Celtic New Year".[3] Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.[4][5]
History of name
The term Halloween is shortened from All Hallows' Even (both "even" and "eve" are abbreviations of "evening", but "Halloween" gets its "n" from "even") as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day",[6] which is now also known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,[3] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.
Symbols
The carved pumpkin, lit by a candle inside, is one of Halloween's most prominent symbols in America, and is commonly called a jack-o'-lantern. Originating in Europe, these lanterns were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body containing the spirit and the knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to frighten off any superstitions.[7] The name jack-o'-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, [8] a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the only light he had: a candle inside of a hollowed turnip. The carving of pumpkins is associated with Halloween in North America,[9] where pumpkins were readily available and much larger, making them easier to carve than turnips. Many families that celebrate Halloween carve a pumpkin into a frightening or comical face and place it on their home's doorstep after dark. In America the tradition of carving pumpkins is known to have preceded the Great Famine period of Irish immigration. The carved pumpkin was originally associated with harvest time in general in America and did not become specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century.
The imagery surrounding Halloween is largely an amalgamation of the Halloween season itself, nearly a century of work from American filmmakers and graphic artists,[10] and a rather commercialized take on the dark and mysterious. Halloween imagery tends to involve death, magic, or mythical monsters. Traditional characters include ghosts, ghouls, witches, owls, crows, vultures, pumpkin-men, black cats, spiders, goblins, zombies, mummies, skeletons, and demons.[11]
Particularly in America, symbolism is inspired by classic horror films, which contain fictional figures like Frankenstein's monster and The Mummy. Elements of the autumn season, such as pumpkins and scarecrows, are also prevalent. Homes are often decorated with these types of symbols around Halloween.
